Soft, Pastel Gray Hair Makeup with Subtle Shimmer

Since I often share recommendations and tutorials, naturally my posts may contain affiliate links to the products I use and love. If you take action (make a purchase, for example) after clicking one of these links, I will earn a little coffee money, which I promise to drink while creating more helpful content for you.

Today’s focus is a soft, pastel gray hair makeup with subtle shimmer look. I realize shimmer is often on the “what not to do for over-40 makeup” lists, but rules are boring.

I like to keep my makeup time well under ten minutes. This took about seven. 

All Products used today for this soft, pastel gray hair makeup with subtle shimmer look are non-toxic and cruelty-free.

This post contains affiliate links, which means if you shop through these links I will earn a small commission.

For today’s soft, pastel gray hair makeup with subtle shimmer look, I used:

Skin Twin Featherlight Foundation in light 230

Skin Twin Creamy Concealer in Light 1

I use the Better Beauty Blender to apply my foundation and concealer and to set concealer with powder

Mattifying Powder (apply with a damp beauty blender to set concealer) gently buff after it has set for a few minutes.

Illuminating Cream Highlighter in Rose Glow for cheeks, lips, and lids (applied with fingertips).

Illuminating Cream Highlighter in Pearl Glow as Highlighter on Brow bone and Cheeks

Lily LoLo Eyebrow Duo Powder for Brows

ILIA Mascara

B Fearless Lipstick (just a touch to add a deeper pink over the rose glow).

That’s it. I really like this look. It’s natural and youthful.

Want to make some makeup changes but feel overwhelmed? 

I know color selection can be challenging, so thankfully there are resources on the website to help, like the shade finder resource, and the Flawless in Five set, which is how I got started, walks you through foundation, concealer, blush, and gloss suggestions.  You can see my Flawless in Five picks here. 

Did you know I offer one on one video consultations?

I’m meal prepping for the week(anti-inflammatory I’m meal prepping for the week(anti-inflammatory of course) which includes baking a bunch of chicken breasts, steaming several heads of broccoli, and making a pot of brown rice.

Every two weeks I’ll make clean muffins or bread for breakfast to shake things up a bit. I usually have a protein shake or a few scrambled egg whites and a banana or a piece of Ezekiel 7 sprouted grain bread (gluten free) as toast for breakfast, but sometimes I crave a baked good. 

When I have a muffin (or two) or slice of bread, I add a couple of scrambled egg whites on the side to make sure I have enough protein. 

➡️I’ll link to the recipes for these banana chocolate ship muffins and banana apple bread in my stories. 

Do you meal prep on Sundays as well?

🥳🚌🧑‍🎓💪🏻New year, new semester, 🥳🚌🧑‍🎓💪🏻New year, new semester, many new students, and feeling really well today.
My rosacea is even behaving. 🤣

I did go back to an anti-inflammatory diet after indulging in all the things over the holidays, so it makes sense that I am feeling better. Feeling optimistic anyway. 

🎉I don’t want to jinx it, but what a great way to ring in 2022!

❤️19 years ago today, surrounded by family and ❤️19 years ago today, surrounded by family and friends in Cooperstown, NY (and a record snowfall outside), I married my best friend and soulmate. 

I love reflecting on that day and the many beautiful memories we’ve made since then.

Our photographer was the photographer from the National Baseball of Fame and he used several antique cameras to capture our special day.

I wish you all a beautiful day filled with love and time for relaxation. 🥰

Scroll through to see some of my favorite decor over here, like our trees selected specifically to highlight our collection of @crosbyandtaylor ornaments, our Christmas card board for all of our cards over the years on top and those we’ve received from others this year below, and a little something worth celebrating: our first homemade cannoli. Thank you, @preppykitchen for the guidance. We had fun with it. 

It has been a very hard week, which I will share more about later, but we tried to keep things as normal as possible for our kiddo. 

🕊Peace be you.
